Asset Performance Management in an SAP World

SAP PM is a powerful tool for effectively managing maintenance work. But is it helping you to prevent equipment failures? Unlock the full potential of your SAP plant maintenance strategy by integrating Asset Performance Management software with SAP PM. The next evolution in Enterprise software is an equipment-centric system to manage and monitor equipment health to prevent failures and optimize performance.

Attend this webinar to learn how Peabody Energy, ArcelorMittal Dofasco, Southern California Edison, and Catalyst Paper are leveraging Ivara EXP Asset Performance Management software in a new approach to asset care.

Includes 30 minute presentation followed by 15 minute software demonstration of Ivara EXP Enterprise and SAP PM. Ivara EXP is certified “Powered by Netweaver”.

Think of an arc flash as a short circuit through the air. In an arc flash incident, an enormous amount of concentrated radiant energy explodes out wards from the electrical equipment creating pressure waves that can damage a persons hearing, a high-intensity flash that can damage their eyesight and a superheated ball of gas that can severely burn a workers body and melt metal. The pressure waves can also send loose material like pieces of damaged equipment, tools and other objects flying through the air.

Workshop - March 18
Conference March 19-20
Las Vegas NV

This workshop is designed to assist maintenance and reliability professionals develop an understanding of alternate paths to the development and implementation of effective maintenance strategies.

The workshop emphasizes the PM Optimization (PMO) methodology, an RCM based approach to maintenance analysis.

Whereas RCM was developed for new plant and the design process, PMO was developed specifically to improve the performance of established maintenance operations quickly and effectively utilizing RCM principles.

Rather than starting from scratch and evaluating many failure possibilities, PMO directly focuses on plant and personnel productivity.

Vibration analysis is not easy to master.

The key to success is understanding the analyzer, machine, and vibration patterns. And that’s why it is so much fun teaching Mobius Institute classes. All through the course you get to see the “Ah, now I get it” moments (with that special smile) as participants suddenly understand a topic that may have bugged them for months or years.

The Mobius animations and simulations are responsible; they really are in a league of their own. To have your own Mobius moment, sign up for a Mobius class, or buy the self-paced iLearnVibration system. Please call 877 550 3400, e-mail or…
